No one liked her at all. This was not really Mary's fault. She lived in India with her mother and father, but she did not see her parents very often. Mary's father was busy with his work and her mother was a very beautiful woman who loved parties and was not interested in her small daughter. She left Mary in the care of an Indian nanny, called an ayah.

She heard strange cries and shouts and the sound of feet outside her door, but no one came to see her. She went back to sleep. Later, when Mary woke up, the house was silent. She heard nothing. Mary was angry because no one came to bring her food or to dress her. Suddenly her door opened and two Englishmen entered. Mary looked at them angrily. ‘Why has everyone forgotten me?" she asked. ‘Where is my ayah? Why does no one come? “Poor little kid 1,” said one of the men, ‘There is nobody here.” ene ‘That is how Mary discovered that her mother and father were dead and that the servants were dead too, because of a terrible disease 2, That was why the house was so jent. Mary Lennox was completely alone. ‘Thore was no one in India to look after Mary, so she went to England to live with her uncle, Mr Graven, who lived in a big house in Yorkshire, called M Mrs Medlock, her uncle’s housekeeper, met Mary in London. Mary disliked Mrs Medlock immediately. But this was nothing new, because Mary disliked everyone. Mrs Medlock did not like Mary.

When she died he became even stranger,’ Mrs Medlock said. ‘Oh, did she die?” asked Mary. “Yes, and now he likes nobody. He’s away most of the time, so you must look after yourself.” It was dark and raining when they got out of the train, They travelled to the house by horse and carriage °, but Mary could see nothing outside because of the rain and the darkness of the night.

Don’t forget that.” Mary Lennox felt terribly alone. 1. eomrtyard: EBE © 2, butler YAP» 3, eorridars <1 © Mary Visits the Gardens he next morning, Mary woke up when a young housemaid * came into her room to light the fire. Her name was Martha, and she talked to Mary while she worked. Mary didn’t understand servants who were friendly, In India she had spoken to servants only to give them orders. She never said ‘Please’ or ‘Thank you’. Once, she had even slapped ? her ayah's face when she was angry with her. Somehow, she knew that she must not behave in this way with Martha. At first Mary did not listen to Martha, but after a while 9 she began to like the sound of the friendly Yorkshire voice. “You should see all my little brothers and sisters in our little cottage on the moor,’ Martha said. “There's twelve of us, and my father only 1. houmemaid: Seth = 2. stepped: EN « 2. a while: RRM» The Secret Garden earns sixteen shillings ! a week.

No one has been in it for ten yours.” “Why?” asked Mary. "Mr Craven closed it after his wife died. It was her garden. He locked the door, dug a hole and buried + the key.” The enormous grounds of Missolthwaite Manor were divided by high walls into many gardens. In some there were flowers, trees and fountains. Vegetables grow in others. Doors opened from garden into garden. Because it was winter, the trees were bare and no flowers grow. Mary thought that it all looked very empty and ugly. After a while an old man came through one of the doors. He had a surly $ old face and did not seom at all pleased to see Mary. “Can I go through that door?” Mary asked. “If you like,” he replied. “There's nothing to see.” Mary hoped that she might find the door to the locked garden, She tried many doors, but they all opened easily. Then, she noticed one wall that was covered in ivy 5, but seemed to have no door in it.

She stopped to listen, and the little bird with the red breast seemed almost to be calling to her. His cheerful? song brought a small smile to her sad face. ‘The old man continued digging. He ignored Mary until at last she said, “There's a garden over there without a door.” “What garden?” he asked angrily. ‘On the other side of the wall,” she answered. “I saw a robin in the trees over there.” The old man stopped digging, and to Mary's surprise he smiled. He looked quite different when he smiled. He whistled 9 very softly + Then, a wonderful thing happened. There was @ sound of wings, and the robin came down next to the man’s foot. “Here he is,’ the old man chuckled §, ‘He always comes to me when I whistle.

Ben stopped digging and looked at Mary. “You and I are the same, then,” he said to her. We're not good looking and we're as sour as we look.’ It was the first time that Mary had ever thought about her angry face and bad temper. Now that she did, she felt uncomfortable, Just then 1, the clear sound of the robin's song made her look towards the apple tree where he sat. Ben Weatherstaff laughed. “What did he do that for?” asked Mary. ‘He's decided to be your friend,’ replied Ben. He's taken a fancy 2 to you.’ “To me?" said Mary, and she moved softly towards the little tree and looked up. “Would you make friends with me?’ she said gently to the robin, as if she was speaking to a person. “Why 2," said Ben quietly, ‘You said that like a real child instead of a You said it almost like Dickon when he talks to his wild things out on the moor.’ The robin flew over the wall. “There must be a door to that garden,’ Mary said firmly 4, “There's no door that you can find and in any case, it’s none of your business,’ Ben said sharply ®. ‘Don’t poke your nose in 7 where it doesn’t belong.’ The gardener walked away without saying goodbye. lite old womai 1.

The cold wind made her cheeks pink, and each evening she ate all of her food. After dinner she liked to sit near the fire and talk to Martha. “Why does Mr Craven hate the locked garden?’ Mary asked once. “It was Mrs Craven's garden. She loved it. She and Mr Craven looked after the flowers together. No gardeners were allowed in.” “But what happened?’ Mary asked impatiently. “Mrs Craven was sitting on a branch of a tree when it broke and she fell, She was injured 1 so badly she died. That's why Mr Craven hates the garden. He won't let anyone ever talk about it.’ Mary had never felt sorry for anyone before, but now she realised how unhappy her uncle must be. 1. injured : 3205 © 3 A Oy in the Night ‘The wind moaned * around the house, banging at the doors and windows. Martha said it was ‘wutherin 2". Mary listened and through the noise she thought that she heard a child crying, ‘Do you hear someone crying?” she asked Martha, Martha suddenly looked confused ‘No,’ she answered, ‘It’s only the wind or the scullery maid 3, She's cried all day with toothache.’ Then Martha quickly left the room. Noxt day, it rained. Mary was bored and complained to Martha that she had nothing to do. ‘On a day like this at home, we all try to keep busy indoors,’ Martha said. ‘Except Dickon, He goes out on the moor in all types of weather. He brought home a fox cubs that he found. He's got a crow >, too, called Soot.” When Martha left her alone, Mary decided to explore the house. She went along corridors and up and down stairs. In the silence of the house she heard again the sound of a child crying, She stopped to listen at a door, but then another door opened and out came Mrs Medlock. ‘What are you doing here?’ she said, and she took Mary by the arm and pulled her away. ‘Get back to your room at once!” 1 moaned: IRA = 2. wuthern : ADMEIR » 2. seullery mal HERI» 4. fox cub: i + 4 5 crow: i OR The Fecret Gaiden ‘I didn't know which way to go, and then I heard someone crying,” said Mary. ‘You didn’t hear anything,’ said Mrs Medlock. ‘Go back to your room, oF I'll tell the master that you disobeyed * him.’ Mary was angry. She wanted to know what the cry was. Soon the storm passed, ‘Wait until the sun shines and lights up the moor,’ said Martha. ‘I'd love to see your cottage on the moor and meet your mother,’ said Mary. “You would like my mother,’ Martha said. ‘She’s kind and good tempered and works hard. When it's my day off? and I can go home and see her, I jump for joy.” ‘V'd like to see Dickon, too,” said Mary. *Yes, you'd like him,’ Martha said. ‘Everyone likes Dickon.’ ‘No one likes me,” said Mary, sadly. ‘Maybe that’s because you don’t like yourself,” laughed Martha. ‘I never thought of that,’ said Mary. Mary found Ben Weatherstaff working in the garden, ‘Spring's coming,’ he said. ‘The plants are growing under the soil. Soon you'll see crocuses and daffodils Mary saw that the robin was on a wall covered with ivy. He hopped down to the soil at her feet. The robin tried to find a worm in the garden. Suddenly, Mary saw an old, rusty key. 1, disobeyed : BALM + 2. day off: HEAL © 3. soil: WE + 4. crocuses and daffodils: HACE MUA flsie « The Secret Garden ‘Perhaps it’s been buried for ten years,’ she said to herself. ‘Perhaps it’s the key to the garden," she thought, putting it into her pocket. After supper, Martha told Mary all about her day at home. ‘Mother has sent you a present,’ she said. She brought out a skipping rope * with striped ? handles, and showed Mary how to skip. “Your mother is very kind,’ Mary said. She wondored * how Mary's mother could find the money to buy her the rope with all those hungry mouths to feed. Mary skipped all the time, and the more she skipped, the stronger she grew. Her cheeks became red, and her plain face started to look almost pretty. ‘One day as Mary watched the robin in the garden, a wonderful thing happened. To Mary it was almost like magic. A small gust 4 of wind blew aside some of the ivy on the wall, and beneath the leaves, she saw a door. She remembered that she had the key in her pocket. She tried it in the lock, and although it was very stiff, she turned it. The next moment, she stood inside the secret garden. It was the loveliest and most mysterious looking place that Mary had seen. It was overgrown and untidy, but she could see plants starting to push their way up through the soil. She pulled weeds 7 away to make space for the spring flowers to grow. striped < 165M « The Secret Garden ‘Now they look as if they can breathe +,’ she thought, Then she whispered to herself, ‘I am the first person who has spoken in here for ten years. ‘Time passed quickly as Mary cleared the weeds and dead grass. Soon it was time to go back to the house for her supper. Mary wanted to toll Martha her secret, but she knew that this was not a good idea, She might be forbidden ? to go into the secret garden again, so instead she said, ‘I would like a little garden to grow things in, “Why, that’s just what you need to keep you busy,” said Martha, ‘I'll get Dickon to bring some garden tools + and some seeds to plant.’ Mary worked with her hands each day in the secret garde: ful not to let Ben Weatherstaff see where she went.

She felt that if the wild animals could trust him, then she could trust him, too. 1 omima e a 2. seeds: WF + 8. trust: HERE 've brought the garden tools and some le si The Secret Garden “Do you know about the secret garden?’ asked Mary. ‘I've heard about it,’ Dickon answered, ‘But I don’t know where itis.” ‘Come with me,’ Mary said. Mary was careful that no one saw them, and then she took Dickon through the door in the wall. Dickon was very surprised. “This is a strange, pretty place,” he said. ‘It’s like being in a dream.’ Dickon looked around at all the plants and trees which Mary thought dead. ‘All of these will grow,’ he said. ‘There'll be flowers and roses everywhere in a few weeks.’ we Dickon and Mary worked together to clear away the weeds and dead wood. Mary felt that she had never known anyone like Dickon. She tried to speak in a warm, friendly voice, like Dickon’s and Martha's. “Do you like me?’ she asked. *Yes, I do,” he laughed. “The robin likes you, too.” ‘That evening, after dinner, Mrs Medlock took Mary to see Mr Craven. ‘He's going abroad * tomorrow, and he wants to see you first,’ she said. Mary felt a little afraid. She felt sure that she would not like Mr Craven and that he would not like her. But she found that Mr Craven wasn’t really frightening, and that his back wasn’t really crooked. His face was handsome ?, but he looked sad and worried. He asked Mary if there was anything that she would like. Mary asked for a piece of garden in which to grow her own flowers. “Of course,’ said her uncle. ‘You may take any bit that is not used.” Mary was delighted ». Now she could have the secret garden for her- self! 52 Dickon That same night, Mary was awakened by the wind roaring around the house, She couldn’t sleep, and as she lay in bed, she heard the crying noise again. “That’s not the wind,’ she thought. ‘I'm going to find out 1 where that noise is coming from.’ Mary took a candle to light her way along the dark corridors. Suddenly, she noticed a light from under one of the doors. The crying sound came from behind the door, and Mary knew that it was a child She gently? opened the door, and saw that a young boy lay on the bed, crying.

But it was too late to be careful. Colin was very excited at the idea of a hidden? garden. ‘Iwill make them open the door,’ he said. ‘Oh, no!” cried Mary. ‘Let’s keep it a secret.

On the day that the rain finished, Mary woke up early to find that the sunlight was streaming! through her windows. She went quickly to the secret garden, and she found that Dickon was already there. ‘I couldn't stay in bed on a morning like this,’ he said. ‘Look at the garden.’ The rain and sunshine had made the new plants start to come through the earth. There were some purple, orange and gold crocuses. Mary was very pleased to see them and she kissed them. The robin was building a nest *, “We mustn't watch too closely,’ Dickon said. ‘He'll stay here with us if we don’t frighten him.” v ‘A whole week had gone by since Mary had seen Dickon, She told him that she had found Colin. “If he comes out here in the garden, ho’ll forget that he’s ill,” Dickon said. ‘He'll be another child, looking at the flowers and animals, like us.’ When Mary went back to the house at the end of the day, Martha told her that Golin was angry because she had not been to see him. ‘I won't allow that boy to come here if you stay with him instead of me,’ Colin said. 1. streaming » 7K 2 est hh» aS 9. ome by
